Over the past 25 years, Pixar's team of artists, writers, and directors have shaped the world of contemporary animation with their feature films and shorts.

I have one copy to give away. For a chance to win, simply comment on this post and include your email so I can contact you if you win. I'll pick a winner next Thursday evening. I apologize, but this giveaway is limited to USA residents. (But I do have other contests and giveaways right now.)

The first movie that my wife allowed our kids to see in the theater was Up; after the wordless story of Karl and Ellie's life together, my then six year old daughter asked me why I was crying. All I could tell her was that their story was sad. I'd love to be able to share this book with her.--Michaeljmichaelcarterjr@yahoo.com

I think art books with the concept and inproduction roughs are the best thing ever. There should be some sort of studio rule about everyone saving every damn thing so it can be put in art books. Doesn't matter if it sucks, it's part of the process.Only downside is when people go "The concept here was totally more interesting"

Having found Super Punch going through the archives is my favorite at work activity.

I LOVE PIXAR. ever since i was little i watched every movie and documentary. It was always a dream of mine to work for pixar, even though it will probably never happen, the pixar company inspired me to become an artist! i love everything about these people! it would make my life if i won this book lol! p.s. they are probably one of the only movie companies that can make me tear up in every movie!
